Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Ann It sounds like you need to find another Dr. Gosh is he a weird one. Has he read anything about RP? OH I will shut up for now. At least he upped the pred. I will do some checking tomorrow when I get off work on things that RP causes. Lots of Love Glenda Well everyone I had my visit with the rheumy. He still wants a picture of myflare. I had the beginnings of a flare today the redness on my chest andthe pain. So he gave me a steroid shot. Almost went through the table. Heincreased the pred. to 25 mg. and the metho to 25 mg. Put me on paxal forthe boo hoos. Wants me to see a neurologist for my dizzy spells because youdon't get dizzy with Rp, but it does have neurology effects. Figure that oneout. And I'm not really having a flare unless my ear is really red andswollen. Well I've had flares and my ear turns red but it doesn'tnecessarily swell. My chest cavity does.Gave me some web sites to check out. Is it true that RP doesn't affect theinner ear?There is probably more but can't remember. If I think of something I'll jotit down.AnnDISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY.
